BBA to Recognize Private Industry Council for Commitment to Boston Youth

The Boston Bar Association will honor the Private
Industry Council (PIC) with the BBA President’s Award on May 12, 2014 at the
annual Law Day
Dinner, in recognition of their commitment to providing
educational and employment opportunities to Boston’s youth. The Private
Industry Council partners with the Boston Bar Association through the Summer
Jobs Program, connecting the BBA to the Boston Public Schools. The PIC
career specialists in each Boston Public School work tirelessly to help select
the best candidates for the program, help students with applications and provide
resume writing and interview workshops. Last year, the PIC’s
School-to-Career initiative placed over 3,100 students in a job or internship,
opening doors and giving valuable work experience to these Boston
teens.

“Through our partnership with the BBA, an ever increasing number of
Boston public high school students are introduced to professional environments
they would never see otherwise" said PIC Executive Director Neil Sullivan.
"The results are transformative.”

The Law Day Dinner is one of the largest bench bar
events in Massachusetts, and will take place at the Boston Convention &
Exhibition Center on May 12, 2014. Please join us as we honor
the PIC and welcome keynote speaker Mayor Martin J. Walsh. Reserve
